Bisexual
Im bisexual myself. It dosen't change who that person is, but she might need a little bit more support. When people found out that I was bisexual I got called "greedy" and "a freak."
I was lucky though because my close group of friends accepted it.
If she's your best friend, you should be able to tell her how you feel.

There's No Difference
What difference does it make if she's dating a guy or a girl? Just treat her the same way you would if she had a boyfriend. You'll get over feeling weird as long as you keep your mind open and remember that it's your job as her friend to be as supportive as you can be, no matter what.

I'm a pansexual, and have only recently come out to my friends as one. I even feel weird myself if I talk about it. However, I feel that most people who come out go through a phase of having to tell their friends why they are, especially if they had been questioning their sexuality for a while.
The best thing to do is to be genuinely interested in what she has to say and if you are still a bit weirded out, then tell her and have a chat about it. I'm sure she'll understand why you might be confused about how to act (One of my friends thought I fancied her when I came out to her!) and in no time at all you'll be back to the old relationship you had before.
Just be glad that she trusted you enough to come out to you and you'll realise what a great friend you have!

I think you should be happy for her and know that you guys are really good friends for her to tell you something personal like that. Treat her like you treated her before because she's still the same girl and you are still her friend.

She is Still Your Friend
I know EXACTLY what you are going through so I know that you are in a very tough situation. I just recently found out that my best friend Abby is bi and it caught me totally off guard. But she is my best friend. She trusted me so much that out of everyone in the world, she told me one of her deepest, darkest secrets.
She is still your friend, but it is going to be awkward for a little while. You've got to look at it from her perspective. She is having feelings that are frowned upon by most adults. She most likely feels the same awkwardness as you.
Because she is your best friend, you should be able to trust that she will not be upset with you if you tell her how you feel. But if and when you do bring the subject up to her, be subtle about it. Don't embarass her.

She's still the same person, the only difference is that now you know something about her that you didn't know before. There's no reason to feel or act any different around her. This should be something that will make you even better friends because she confided in you, which means she trusts you.

I am bisexual myself and I just broke the news to my friends not too long ago. It's okay to be uncomfortable around her because you're not use to her talking about girls or what not. Just always remember she's still the same friend she was before you found out about her "SECRET."

Hmmmm. That's a toughie. I went through the same thing with one of my friends. Like you said, it didn't really bother me but I didn't know what to say, so instead of worrying about it I just tried to act natural. I know that is harder than it sounds, but believe me, after a while I just kind of forgot about it.

Tell her what you think. I know that it was hard for me to admit to myself that I liked females. It still is. That's why I have not told anyone. Right now I'm still trying to figure out what I am, and I know that when I tell someone, I will listen to what their opinions are about my sexuality and me and I'll let them make the decision about how to react.

I really think that you should just go with the flow. I know that if I was bisexual and I told my friend I would really be hurt if she acted differently towards me. I say carry on like y'all were!
